  1. can you help test a forum change?

    in Discussions

    Posted · Edited by jump

    I doubt it's to do with the change I made yesterday, but it's possible.

    How did you post this message? Did you have to do it via the "add reply" option, rather than using the fast reply?

    Have you tried clearing your browser's cache (from your browser's "tools" menu option? If not, could you please try doing that, and post back to say whether that's cured the problem?

    (I'd be grateful if you could please answer this post asap, as I was just about to upgrade the forum software to the version released at the end of last week - but I didn't want to make the two changes together, as that would make things difficult in tracking down any problems).

    A sleazy compliment is still sleaze regardless if they are in a gym or not, if anything you should focus less on the looks in the sauna and more on wit & banter. If you're in a bar/club you don't go upto them with cheesey lines and going nice tits etc. you go upto them say hi and take it from there, why should there be a difference?

  5. Comic Books

    I think I got into comics (apart from mme loving the 90's Batman cartoon as a kid) was a girl I was going out with in college who liked stuff Ghost Worls, Lost Girls and manga and she got me into them in general.

    Not really a collector, I just like grabbing the tradebacks/graphic novels, but it's f**king annoying having to wait a year or 2 for them to appear though. At the moment I really want to read Paul Dini's Zatanna, Grant Morrison's Batman & Robin, Ultimate Thor Origin (even though the writer has pretty much said he's been made to do it) & Scarlet.

    Does anyone know if Marvel are gonna release the Moore/Gaiman run of Marvel Man anytime soon, they just seem to be pissing about with the silver age ones at the moment.

  9. Greenpeace shut down BP Stations

    The only difference between this and any other oil spill is that it's happening in America, the country least undeserving of an oil-related disaster. Where are all the Greenpeace demonstrations against the ongoing negligence of other oil companies towards developing and third world countries, who furthermore are actually gettting away with the crap?

    I'm not criticising them for this action, it's well deserved. But it does suggest that they only give a f**k about environmental disasters that affect the west.

  11. At least some people can be bothered...

    People who stay on benefits for no good reason don't wind me up as much as the super rich. In 2006, there were 54 billionaires in the UK who paid a total income tax bill of 15 million pounds. Jim Dyson paid 9 million of that 15 million, meaning the remaining 53 paid 6 million between them.

    Now that's a scandal.

    Please I came from one of those "less affluent" areas aka a council estate and the problem is a lot simpler than me/these people not having morals, it's them having no ambition.

    This is something I am argueing with my little sister about at the moment, her menataillty is not to try as she will fail and would rather piss about with her friends. So I've been explaining to her the advatanges of good schooling and I've managed to help her find a summer job and made sure is going to College after the Summer.

    Kind of accidently broke the 'half your age plus 7' rule at Truck at the weekend... pulled a seventeen year-old. There was a bit of confusion, I thought she said that she was 20. :unsure:

    Anyway, was good fun. Didn't doink her, but I think I was a bit handsy. Also, found out the next day that she had a boyfriend, don't feel too guilty about that though.

    No source listed but my nephew's girlfriend is a dental nurse who worked on the guy's teeth that wrote the article, and he said he herd it from the his binman who drinks in the same pub as the Frank Carter's bank manager who herd it 1st hand from Frank himself.

  19. Films

    I love the "is he crazy or not" idea about Ultimate Thor but I always found the hippy side of him intresting too, I could see a few early scenes of him destroying oil drills and have him fighting America/China armies over enviromental issues and some comedy scenes of having a power god leading Ghandi style peace protests etc., but I'm hoping it's not gonna be trying to hard to a fantasy film rather than a superhero film.

    Not fussed about Green Lantern (unless it's an Avatar style SFX orgy) or Capatin America (far too American) but I am looking forward to Avengers and Runaways though.

  22. No British Headliner

    Surprised no one is bitching about that, not fussed myself.

    I reckon I willl see all 3 but not super excited for them but Blink are fun (espiially when girls get their goodies out for them), Arcade Fire are great and Gun N Roses (albeit without most of the real band) are a name to cross off the list.

  24. Deftones

    Are Deftones any good live?

    Never seen them before but I like a few tracks like Back To School, Minerva so this would be a good chance to check them out without having to pay for them, but Aggrolites one of my fave bands are clashing but seen them loads of times and there's also the brilliant live Kasms too to add to the conflict.
